Godox P2400 and Profoto Pro-11 Pack: Super Flash System

Godox's most powerful flash system yet, the P2400, a pack designed to rival the industry-leading Profoto Pro-11. Known for producing reliable and affordable strobes, Godox is now stepping into the realm of high-end studio power packs with a unit that promises incredible output at a fraction of the cost.

While Profoto remains synonymous with premium quality and craftsmanship, its products often come with a steep price tag. The Godox P2400 aims to deliver comparable performance and flexibility for a much more accessible price, positioning it as a serious contender for professional studios and rental houses alike.

Power and Performance

The Godox P2400 offers an impressive 2400Ws of output power, matching the Pro-11 watt-for-watt. One standout feature is its independent dual-output channels, allowing photographers to control two flash heads separately making it perfect for balancing lighting setups or experimenting with different ISO and aperture combinations.

This immense power opens creative possibilities for commercial, fashion, and studio photographers who demand consistent, high-intensity lighting for large setups or fast-paced productions.

Build Quality and Design

The Profoto Pro-11 is a tank of a power pack built from metal and rubber with an incredibly robust chassis that feels nearly indestructible. It weighs 13.2 kg (29.8 lb), compact for its power but still hefty. The Godox P2400, on the other hand, is lighter at 11 kg, with a slightly smaller footprint (13 x 11.7 x 8 inches).

Both units feature clean, intuitive control panels with bright displays and simple interfaces, making it ideal for working in dim studios or on busy sets.

Flash Heads and Compatibility

Profoto’s system supports a variety of heads — from ProHeads and ProRings to specialty lights for creative effects. Godox counters this with its H2400P flash head (featuring a 60W LED modeling light) and the R2400 ring flash head (with a 40W LED). These lights provide bright, consistent previews, helping photographers fine-tune how light falls on their subjects.

The P2400 also supports a Bowens mount, giving users access to a vast range of modifiers and accessories already available in the Godox ecosystem.

Speed and Flash Duration

When it comes to speed, the Profoto Pro-11 sets a high standard. Thanks to its AirX technology, it offers lightning-fast flash durations of up to 1/80,000s, with recycling times as short as 0.7 seconds. It can also fire up to 50 flashes per second, making it ideal for high-speed, action, or dance photography.

Godox, however, is not far behind. The P2400 achieves an impressive flash duration of 1/17,800s in Freeze Mode, ensuring crystal-clear images when capturing fast-moving subjects. Its IGBT technology allows precise power control and efficient recycling, adjustable to match your power supply and shooting needs.

Colour Consistency

The P2400 offers three operation modes - Freeze, Normal, and Colour Stable.

• Freeze Mode prioritizes speed and motion-freezing at the expense of colour consistency.

• Colour Mode maintains consistent colour temperature across flashes, ideal for commercial work or product photography.

The Profoto Pro-11, in contrast, integrates TTL and HSS support, which Godox omits from the P2400.

Both systems deliver excellent colour stability, with Profoto holding a slight edge in accuracy, especially in colour-consistent modes.

Modifiers and Connectivity

Godox’s Bowens mount opens up limitless light-shaping possibilities, supporting a massive array of modifiers from softboxes to beauty dishes. The P2400 also includes flexible triggering options, such as:

• Optical sensor

• Wired connection

• 2.4GHz and 433MHz wireless triggering

• Compatibility with X1, X2, and XPro triggers

Profoto, on the other hand, leverages its AirTTL and AirX ecosystems, offering seamless integration with over 120 light-shaping tools and app-based firmware updates — even from your smartphone.

Price and Value

This is where things get interesting.
While the Profoto Pro-11 delivers unmatched durability, build quality, and user experience, it comes at a premium at three times the cost of the Godox P2400.

The P2400, by comparison, provides similar specifications, a solid build, and excellent performance at a far more attainable price point. For studios or professionals looking for commercial-grade lighting without the premium markup, the Godox P2400 represents exceptional value.

Summary

The Godox P2400 marks a bold step for Godox; a system designed to challenge the best in the business. It’s a powerful, reliable, and flexible solution that proves high-end performance doesn’t always have to come with a luxury price tag.

Meanwhile, the Profoto Pro-11 remains the gold standard for professionals who demand absolute reliability, top-tier color accuracy, and seamless ecosystem integration.

In short:

• Profoto Pro-11 = premium build, ultimate reliability, advanced connectivity.

• Godox P2400 = incredible value, high performance, and creative flexibility.

If you’re looking for the most powerful lighting solution for your studio without breaking the bank, the Godox P2400 is a compelling choice, and one that could very well redefine expectations for professional flash systems.
